No no I am not asking for points this time, just describing the effect on the game of giving zero points to last place - more effort goes into avoiding last than getting 1st or 2nd.

It was cyan I offered with orange, not brown, and I offered a fat wodge of cash too. I also offered to take the sets and give you blacks if you paid me. But you wanted neither.

Sim had only 3 whites and was catchable, or it was worth a try, I felt.

I don't want to argue, but with cyans and oranges versus 3 whites, yes you could have caught him you had th emoney tupgrade cyans straight away and oranges soon after with the money I was offering. Or you could (not probably, but could) have caught him with the 4 blacks.

Anyway, once you have finished rubbing your bronze medal in my face kindly be quiet. I am allergic to cheap metals.

Only 14 players were actually in the tourny by my count.

14x5000=70,000
115,000-70,000=45000
45,000/5000=9

So, 9 players charged 5000 points when they very well could have been in the lobby at the right time - of the players who turned up at 1pm GMT, only CYN and me got to play in the tournament.

Crabbs have you finished criticising every aspect of the tournament now?

I'd love to know if had you got any position above 4th, would you be moaning then?

That was a very productive comment trace, thanks. Good to know you're not above kicking man when he's down.

Would you care to address the point I raise, or would you like to put my every thought down to sour grapes? The tournament had many big problems. We can iron them out, or just cover it up.

right ill tell you exactly who was in the lobby.

Gentlemen

that is it who was in the lobby at time of both start times, i know that because i was there checking.

seeing as none of these players that were deduced 5k havent come here but you to complain , i put it down to sour grapes.

players know if they register and not play that they get deducted. so i presume theyve accepted it and moved on.............. have you ???

please leave this subject alone now crabbs.

Yes Bill

I woke up 15 minutes after the tournament started, so I just accepted the 5k point deduction and went back to sleep.

I know magflag did the same as well.

What I meant that you did as well, was that you accepted the point loss and moved on, not that you slept through it.

Alteration has been made to points won by ingeras and gameman.

I have added 2500 to ingeras and 9000 to gameman.

Reason being there appears to have been a miscalculation made, but the error is now corrected.

In future I think we will have a second moderator just double check on the sums, as we are all human and errors can occur.
